Gift guide for illustrators & hand letterers

It’s the season to be jolly and the season for gift guides! As I love making lists I had a lot of fun putting together this gift guide for the illustrators, graphic designers and hand letters in your life. Or people with aspirations in that direction. Or, you know, just generally the creatives in your live.

Inspirational books

Austin Kleon’s Steal Like an Artist and Show Your Work (€8)². Don’t expect a lot of mind blowing information in Kleon’s books, but they’re the perfect way to get some new ideas or inspiration when your in need of a creative boost

Skillshare is (apart from YouTube) my favourite place on the internet to learn new things. They have an enormous collection of courses, covering things from how to start drawing cartoons, to hand lettering, making videos or how to be more productive. ($12/month)

Kyle’s brushes are widely renowned in the illustrator community. Adobe even considers them the best brush sets you can get for Photoshop. So if you’re looking for a gift for someone who’s into digital illustration, this might be the perfect solution!
